Effect of drug on the micelles formed by ionic surfactants
The aim of the study is to use SANS in combination with contrast variation to determine the effect of solubilising the lipophilic drug, testosterone propionate, in micelles... -
Solventless protein liquids: a novel form of biological matter
Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on... -
Polystrene chain conformations in good solvents and electrospun fibres
This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments... -
Gold-loaded microgels
Recent results show that gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) can be included into microgels (MGs). UV-visible spectra (Figure 1) suggest the original Au-NP sols retain their size and... -
SANS studies on the structures of non-ionic surfactant micelles with/without ...
SANS is about the only technique that can determine the size and shape of surfactant micelles and the subsequent changes upon pesticide solubilisation. The aim of this work is... -
Inner structure of nanoparticles for agricultural applications
The development of new nanomaterials for agricultural and environmental applications is a topical field. To control loading of the bioactive agents and their subsequent release,...
